Ans is c
The alkanol obtained from the production of soap is glycerol, also known as glycerin or propane-1,2,3-triol. During the soap-making process, a reaction called saponification occurs, in which a fat or oil is mixed with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, to produce soap and glycerol as a byproduct. Glycerol is a versatile compound that is used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food production.

Glycerol. Glycerol (also called glycerine) is a sweet syrupy substance with three alcohol hydroxyl groups. Its systematic name is propane-1,2,3-triol. Glycerol was first obtained as a by-product of soap manufacture, through the saponification (hydrolysis in base) of fats.
